When a 32-year-old sought fertility treatment in India, she learned that while her appearance is female, her chromosomes are 95 percent male; the intersex condition is known as XY gonadal dysgenesis, reports the Daily Mail.

Thanks to extensive hormone treatments, she has just given birth to healthy twins—a feat that's only been reported in five previous cases. "This is akin to a male delivering twins," fertility specialist Sunil Jindal tells AFP.
